Dutch Federation of Healthcare

Collaborating on a healthier The Netherlands

We are the leading professional organization for complementary psychosocial care in the Netherlands. Quality comes first at the NFG: all our therapists, coaches, and counselors work at a minimum of a higher professional education (HBO) level, and we regularly check whether they continue to meet our requirements.

Welcome
at the NFG

Are you looking for help with, for example, stress, burnout, or anxiety? We would be happy to connect you with a registered therapist in your area — please check our overview of recognized healthcare providers for this.

Are you a therapist yourself? Then we take a lot of work off your hands. For instance, the NFG monitors the quality of care, and we ensure that your clients can turn to an independent complaints officer — as required by law (Wkkgz).

You have come to the right place at the NFG.
